So the wife wanted ice cream last night and decided on McDonalds. I don't really care because I love ice cream and this is yet another reason to go for a cruise in the vette We order from the ~15 year old girl and just before we pull away, she starts to say "nice ve..."
Of couse it's a nice vette is what I'm thinking and I actually just about started to say thanks when she finished her statement. "...est" She was complimenting my wife's vest :o Talk about feeling like a jacka$$
Anyone else assume (bad I know) everyone is focused on thier vette like I am?

So what does the vest look like..? Most vette owners would surely assume the compliment is for their Corvette...what else...I guess consider the source...

Nope . That is funny though. I have the top on most of the time I'm with my GF because "her hair will get messy," so whenever we go through the drive trough things, they don't see her; well they might just see her legs, but I guess.

The compliment came from a 15 year old girl, I'm pretty sure she was complimenting just the vest.

Exactly. Forum rules clearly state that if you mention any women in your thread in a positive way, you must post pics of her. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just know them.

Maybe she meant to say Vette, but has a speech impediment.

Well as long as your wife didn't know you almost said "thank you" in response to what you thought she was going to say, your in ther clear. If not I bet that was a bad feeling. Nothing like a good chewing from the female about which is more important, the car or her....
